"I think there are some incredibly subtle clues that I wouldn't necessarily expect people to pick up on. We've allowed ourselves to create a genuine mystery with red herrings and clues and whatnot about who Whistledown might be, which we're really excited about."
"We always knew that once Penelope came out publicly, that the stakes of that storyline were only going to get us so far. And it also just felt right at some point for Penelope to move on to another chapter."
Penelope Bridgerton publicly resigned as Lady Whistledown after declaring her love and experiencing significant personal turmoil. Following her dramatic exit at Cressida Cowper's ball, a new Lady Whistledown emerges in the season finale, continuing the gossip column tradition. Showrunner Jess Brownell confirms the writers have a definitive plan for the new identity and have intentionally crafted a mystery with subtle clues and red herrings. The transition allows Penelope to move forward with her life, pursuing writing projects. The reveal will not appear random but will challenge viewers to piece together the evidence scattered throughout the narrative.
